Tree Mortality Following Prescribed Fire And A Storm Surge Event In Slash Pine (Pinus Elliottii Var. Densa) Forests In The Florida Keys, Usa, Jay P. Sah, Michael S. Ross, James R. Snyder, Danielle E. Ogurcak

Department of Earth and Environment

In fire-dependent forests, managers are interested in predicting the consequences of prescribed burning on postfire tree mortality. We examined the effects of prescribed fire on tree mortality in Florida Keys pine forests, using a factorial design with understory type, season, and year of burn as factors. We also used logistic regression to model the effects of burn season, fire severity, and tree dimensions on individual tree mortality. Despite limited statistical power due to problems in carrying out the full suite of planned experimental burns, associations with tree and fire variables were observed. Post-fire pine tree mortality was negatively correlated with …

Boron In Antarctic Granulite-Facies Rocks: Under What Conditions Is Boron Retained In The Middle Crust?, Edward S. Grew

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

This award, provided by the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Program of the Office of Polar Programs, supports a project to investigate the role and fate of Boron in high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Larsemann Hills region of Antarctica. Trace elements provide valuable information on the changes sedimentary rocks undergo as temperature and pressure increase during burial. One such element, boron, is particularly sensitive to increasing temperature because of its affinity for aqueous fluids, which are lost as rocks are buried. Boron contents of unmetamorphosed pelitic sediments range from 20 to over 200 parts per million, but rarely exceed 5 parts …

Classics And Religious Studies Collection Development Policy, Kathleen Johnson

UNL Libraries: Collection Development Policies

The Classics and Religious Studies collections support the teaching, research, and service activities of the entire university community. The primary audience is the faculty and students of the Department of Classics & Religious Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences. Its primary focus is support for the undergraduate and graduate curricula for Classics & Religious Studies. Research needs of faculty and students are supplemented through Interlibrary Loan. While the collection also benefits other citizens of the state of Nebraska, materials are not purchased with them in mind. While the collection focuses on works classified in Library of Congress call …

Food Science And Technology Collection Development Policy, Rebecca Bernthal

UNL Libraries: Collection Development Policies

The Department of Food Science and Technology is located in the Food Industry Complex on East Campus at UNL. The department started out as a part of many departments in the College of Agriculture, the most important being the Department of Dairy Science. Up until 1960, food processing was incorporated in the various College of Agriculture departments of dairy science, agronomy, animal science, poultry science, and agricultural engineering and in the Foods and Nutrition Department of the College of Home Economics. In 1960 the new Food Technology major was approved as an inter-departmental major involving all departments with food processing …

College Of Nursing Collection Development Policy, Joan Latta Konecky

UNL Libraries: Collection Development Policies

The nursing collection supports the basic teaching, research and service activities of the College of Nursing—Lincoln Division. The College of Nursing—Lincoln Division faculty, staff and students heavily use the nursing and related biomedical research collections available from the UNMC McGoogan Library of Medicine. They have UNMC affiliate status and remote access privileges to the UNMC Library collections and subscriptions. They also have been granted UNL affiliate status and remote access privileges to the UNL collections and subscriptions by the UNL Dean of Libraries. Specific research needs are supplemented through interlibrary loan, primarily supplied by the UNMC McGoogan Library of Medicine.

Collection Development For The Department Of Psychology,, Charles D. Bernholz

UNL Libraries: Collection Development Policies

The University of Nebraska was founded in Lincoln in 1871, but it took almost two decades until psychology courses were offered. The man who was singularly responsible for bringing psychology to the University was Professor Harry Kirk Wolfe, and thus the history of the Psychology Department begins with him.

Harry K. Wolfe enrolled as an undergraduate in the University in 1876, just five years after the University was chartered. Four years later, he graduated in a class of eight. Three years later, he went to Leipzig Germany to study in the laboratory of the founder of experimental psychology, Professor Wilhelm …

Social Work Collection Development Policy Note, David C. Tyler

UNL Libraries: Collection Development Policies

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln does not have a social work department or program and so does not have a specific policy for the field. While materials from the field of social work (LC subclass HV) may be of interest to the teaching, research and service activities of the entire university community, their primary audiences at UNL are the faculty, staff, and students of the Department of Child, Youth and Family Studies in the College of Education and Human Sciences; the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Lincoln Program) in the College of Public Affairs and Community Service; the Department of …

Changes California's Income And Property Tax Laws. Initiative Constitutional Amendment

Initiatives

Repeals the two-thirds vote requirements to raise state or local taxes. Repeals Proposition 13's caps on property taxes. Excludes first $150,000 of personal income from taxation. Imposes maximum 8% marginal tax rate on personal income above $150,000. Allows taxpayers to take a credit against personal income taxes for property taxes paid in the same year. Imposes taxes on land having rental value. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Replaces virtually all existing state and local tax revenues (about $170 billion) with a roughly equivalent amount from a new …

Prohibits The State From Taking Funds Used For Transportation Or Local Government Projects And Services. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.

Initiatives

Prohibits the State from shifting, taking, borrowing, or restricting the use of tax revenues dedicated by law to fund local government services, community redevelopment projects, or transportation projects and services. Prohibits the State from delaying the distribution of tax revenues for these purposes even when the Governor deems it necessary due to a severe state fiscal hardship. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Significant constraints on state authority over city, county, special district, and redevelopment agency funds. As a result, higher and more stable local resources, potentially affecting …

Asymptotic Falloff Of Local Waveform Measurements In Numerical Relativity, Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig, Nils Dorband, Erik Schnetter, Peter Diener

Faculty Publications

We examine current numerical relativity computations of gravitational waves, which typically determine the asymptotic waves at infinity by extrapolation from finite (small) radii. Using simulations of a black hole binary with accurate wave extraction at r=1000M, we show that extrapolations from the near zone are self-consistent in approximating measurements at this radius, although with a somewhat reduced accuracy. We verify that ψ4 is the dominant asymptotic contribution to the gravitational energy (as required by the peeling theorem) but point out that gauge effects may complicate the interpretation of the other Weyl components. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
